Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a devastating condition in which motor neuron degeneration causes progressive loss of movement and muscle tone, leading to death. Overcoming the limited success of previous models, a report published in Disease Models & Mechanisms (DMM), dmm.biologists.
